Love is patient.
It can happen when you least expect it, where you least expect it, with whom you least expect it.
Love is kind.
But love may not grow out of kindness. It can happen with the person who hates you most because love knows no bounds. And it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love forgets.

But when the healing of your heart
breaks the hearts of the ones you love …

Excerpt
Rubber Cat
stalked in from the kitchen, and I was glad for the distraction. I groaned when
he sprang from the floor and landed on my lap.
The cat, who had
once been my only companion, continued his journey down the couch until he got
to my feet. In a traitorous move, he nipped at my ankle, causing me to gasp and
yank my legs back away from Adam. Rubber Cat gave me a victorious cat grin
before beginning his nesting ritual on Adam’s lap. He turned in circles, first
to the right, then to the left, and finally settled into my former spot. I
stared at both of them, my mouth agape.
“Well, well,
well. Just look at the two of you. Do you remember the first time you slept
over here?”
“Of course, I
do,” he said. “I popped your sleepover cherry.”
I tried to look
disgusted, but a smile snuck out anyway. “Uhhhh, yeah,” I said, shaking my
head. “I caught you feeding Rubber Cat in the middle of the night, and you told
me that you’d never have a pet.”
“I still don’t
have a pet. He’s your cat. I can barely tolerate him.”
“Rigggggghhhht.
That’s why he just sold me out to sit on your lap. And who was it that bought
him food last week without being asked and before he was even out, I might
add?”
“Well, I’m not going to let him go hungry. He
and I spend a lot of time here while you’re at work and I’m studying. We’ve
come to an understanding.”
“Is the
understanding that he’s going to sleep on your side of the bed? Because that’s
my understanding.”
Adam shrugged.
“Maybe. He gets cold on your side.”
“He gets cold?
Really? He has fur. You know what I think? I think you like cuddling with him.”
“Fine. You win.
He’s one sweet pussy, and it turns out that I have a soft spot for your sweet
pussy. What’s your point?”
I nearly spit
out a mouthful of wine. “Boy, you’re on a roll tonight. That’s one filthy mouth
you have.”
“I don’t know
what you’re talking about because I’m talking about Rubber Cat. You’re the one
who’s filthy.” He jabbed me in the side with a finger and started to tickle me.
“I should wash your mouth out.”
He pitched the
cat off onto the floor and crawled over on top of me. He took the sloshing wine
glass out of my hand and set it on the coffee table and then resumed his
position over me. “Look what you’ve done to me. You’ve turned me soft. Only six
months into this thing, and I’m a domesticated potty-training cat lover. I’m a
fraction of the man I used to be. I used to be tough.” The gruffness of his
voice was offset by the barely there laugh lines around his eyes.
“Not true,” I
said quietly. “You’re still tough. It says so right there on your shirt.”
“That’s not what
it says,” he said, looking down at the giant Captain America symbol on his
chest.
“It’s implied.
Super heroes have to be tough. It’s in their DNA.”
He shifted his
weight from his hands to his elbow so that his mouth was hovering just over
mine. The corner of his mouth turned up in a lopsided, lazy smile. “Hmmm. You
know what’s not implied?”
“This?” I asked,
arching my neck to kiss him lightly on the lips.
He brushed his
thumbs across my cheeks. “I love you, Allie. You and me, we can take them all.”
